ASTM D897 Tensile Properties of Adhesive Bonds

ASTM D897 is a widely used standard test method for evaluating the tensile properties of adhesive bonds. The test determines the strength and elasticity of adhesives and provides information about their bonding capabilities. The test method involves applying a force to a bonded joint in a specific direction to measure the tensile strength and elongation properties of the adhesive.

Introduction to ASTM D897

ASTM D897 is a standard test method used for evaluating the tensile properties of adhesive bonds. This test method is essential for determining the performance of adhesives used in various industries such as automotive, construction, aerospace, and more. The results obtained from this test can be used for quality control, material specification, and research purposes. The test method is generally applicable to most adhesives, but the specific test conditions may vary depending on the type of adhesive being tested.

ASTM D897 Test Method

The test method involves preparing two metal or plastic substrates to be bonded using the adhesive being tested. The specimens are then cured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The adhesive bond area and thickness are measured and recorded. The test method has two variations: the standard test method and the modified test method

Standard Test MethodASTM D897 test method involves applying a tensile load to a bonded specimen until it breaks. The test requires two substrates to be bonded together using the adhesive being tested. The adhesive is applied in a uniform thickness and the specimens are prepared as per the test requirements. The specimens are then clamped into the testing machine and a tensile load is applied at a specified rate until failure occurs. The maximum load at failure and the elongation at failure are recorded
Modified Test MethodThe modified test method is used when testing adhesives with a high degree of flexibility or compliance. In this case, the test is performed with a specified gap between the bonded substrates to allow for a greater degree of deformation.

ASTM D897 Specimens

Specimen DetailsASTM D897 specimens are plastic or metal substrates.
Specimen dimensionsThe ASTM D897 specimen size and shape depend on the type of adhesive and the intended application. However, the standard requires that the bond area be a minimum of 25 mm x 75 mm (1 in x 3 in), with a thickness of at least 1.6 mm (1/16 in). The thickness of the adhesive layer is maintained between 0.25 mm (0.01 in) and 3.2 mm (0.13 in).
Specimen preparationThe specimens for ASTM D897 are prepared by bonding two metal or plastic substrates with the adhesive being tested. The adhesive is applied uniformly between the two substrates using a specified method. The substrates are then cured according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

ASTM D897 Results

The results of the test method are used to determine the tensile strength and elongation properties of the adhesive being tested. The results are reported as the maximum load required to break the bond and the elongation percentage of the adhesive before it fails. These values provide essential information about the bonding capabilities of the adhesive, its strength and elasticity, and the behavior of the bond under stress.

Tests related to ASTM D897
ASTM D897 is similar to several other standards that evaluate the tensile properties of adhesives, including ASTM D638 and ASTM D3039. ASTM D638 measures the tensile properties of plastic materials, while ASTM D3039 measures the tensile properties of composite materials.
